GRABRIELLE, daughter of Hor-
ace Greeley, is interesting herself
in the cause of the working wo-
men of New York city. Were she
interesting herself in the cannibals
OF the Congo or propagating the
advancement of society for the
prevention of the spread of Social
ism, for instance, the capitalist
press of the country would herald
her name and fame to the remot-
est corners of the world. But as
she is only helping to educate the
poor workers to understand the
causes underlying their miserable
condition, she is never mentioned
by the prostituted press.

WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT, ETC.

To prove the essentially rotten,
corrupting. degraded and base
character ofthe so-called better
classes. the charge of the bribery
of witnesses in the celebrated As
pen mining suits at law, which
have been on trial here, will
answer.
No less a parsonage than the
senator from this state, Henry M.
Teller, charges Thomas!M. Patter-
son and other members Of the bar,
all better class" people, with
bribery and the corruption of wit
nesses in the Aspen mine cases.
Senator Teller comes into "open
court" and charges that witness
in the case, one Anderson, has
been btibed to swear a certain way
by Patterson and his honorable
gang of "better class" legal breth-
ren.
Senator Teller asserts that
Large sums of money have been
paid, and other large sums are to
be paid to him (Anderson) when
he shall appear as a witness in
this case, provided he shall give
material testimony for them, and
some of the counsel know more
about that arrangement than | do,
a great deal" Il
Teller, in closing his bold charge,
says this will stand as one of the
most infamous transactions that
has ever come to the public light
in connection with the administra-
tion of justice in this state. And
now, having said this, I've nothing
to take back; and | will be pre-
pared, or my associates will in my
absence. if am not here to, at
least present to your honor suffi-
cient proofs that we were justi-
fed in making this charge"
The only interest the ENQUIRER
can have in this case is the using
of it to demonstrate the utter abb
surdity of the claim made by this
class of corruptionists that they
are the better class" and that
they should bv right be the recog-
nized guides to public morality
and should be constituted the CEN
sors of the sentiments and ex-
pressions of the common herd.
Here is this man Patterson who
is to the fore as the lion of every
occasion when the "better classes"
have a charity blowout; the
hero of the hour when a move
ment is started to improve by
speech making the morality of the
city or propagate the woodward
and buck-saw solution of the labor
problem. He controls a daily
paper which advocates the hang
ing of all Socialists and anarchists.
Of this latter fact it is only neces-
sary to state that every briber
and 'coruptionist is emphatic in
declaring that socialism is an i'm
moral doctrine.
twill be remembered that Mr..
Patterson was interviewed some
weeks ago regarding his opinion
of the merits of the decision rem

his screed the writer says: police

WHY Is TIT

of Powderlys endorsed" papers,
bewails the fact that the labor
paper which is enthusiastic in ad-
vocating the noble order is the ex-
ception nowadays. In calling at
tention to the notable instances
of localities which are not going
wild in support of Mr.. Powderly
the Press points out Pittsburg with
five labor papers not one Of which
has a good word to say of Mr..
Ps%derly's, order. Philadelphia
with several labor papers has not
one with a kind word for my or
der"
why is this3' asks the Press
The ENQUIRER would humbly
suggest an answer or two: Mr..
Powderly's head swelled so that
he imagined himself the labor
King and issued the edict that
"this order shall not be second
to any on EARTH" and before tAe
swelling went down issued his ia
nous bull which prevented men,
Der of a trade union from belong
ing to my order"
Mr.. Powderly draws a salary of
SI4 per day, which is paid by poor
workingmen and women who do
not average SI4 per ten days.
Mr.. Powderly's cowardice lost
the Southwestern strike.
Mr.. ,Powderly's subserviency to
the will of The Reverend Father
Michael O'Flanagan of Chicago
lost the meat packers their strike
in that city.
Mr.. Powderly's praises are being
sung by the bitterest anti-labor,
capitalistic papers from Maine to
California.
The prostitute capitalist press
of two continents, press never
known to tell the truth, says Mr..
Powderly is an honest man.
There is another answer or two
that might be given to the why
is it?" but one more will suffice.
Many poor devil who has paid
in his two bits a month, with the
hope of having something more
than a rotten reed to lead on in a
time of distress, will find suffi-
cient answer to the why is it1" in

a scheme for "a party that can
win in 49," The Exqs,xy says:
"There must be a union Of the
following forces: The United La
Dor Party. Union Labor Party,
Progressive Labor Party. Ameri-
can reform party, the grange, the
tax reformers, the farmers al
lance. anti-monopolists. home
steaders and all other political and
policico-cconomic organizations
Of bread-winners.
Nov, how is this amalgama-
ton to be brought about1 On a
platform that every one of them
can indorse, How can such a
marvellous platform be construct
ede By putting into it the one
thing that all the elements ap-
prove; by leaving out everything
upon which there is a division. Is
there one measure that all the
elements indorse, regardless of
their other demands? There is:-
g0ve,nment osvneyshit and opera
hom Of tile ,ailyoads and klxgyapA."
The plan is a good one; the
only doubt about its success is
born of the fact that it is prema-
ture.
Consequent upon the breaking
up of old fogy institutions and the
influx of new ideas we are natur-
ally in the midst of a war of opin-
ions "a very healthy condition
where every man has weapon in
the shape of an idea of his own.
This war, a kind of Donnybrook
affair it must be admitted, is only
a little more than just begun, and
it will have to 60 on for some lit
tie time yet before the innumera-
bic factions Shall have belabored
each other sufficiently to come to
their senses and see what fools
they have been.
The man who cannot afford a
political hobby Of his own these
days is. poor indeed. Most men
are rich in that respect. The
Chicago Enqniysy sees this and
proposes that leach wing of the
reform movement Withhold for
twelve months its hobbies, and all
join hands for a united onslaught
upon one of the enemy's weakest
though most important points"
The average Socialist is about
as liberal in his views as any of
the members of the other labor
factions and would be willing to
make what might be called, per-
haps underservedly SO, a compro-
mise with his convictions; yet it
is; doubtful if any considerable
portion Of the Socialistic party
would be willing to join in with a
party that did not in its platform
go the whole length of the radical
idea. What is true of the Social
ist in this regard is also true of
the other factions. Prejudice and
contracted, narrow-minded fac
tionalism are too rampant as yet
to think of complete uni6cation
in time to down the common ene-
my in 1883. The skull-cracking''
business, 6guratively speakings
will 60 on between the labor fac
tions for some time yet. When
they become weary fighting each
other they will turn to and spoil
the countenance of the money

As mentioned briefly in our issue ol
last weeks News, w. S. Locke, some
time past our correspondent at Mcmillan,
held a one-tenth ticket in the Louisiana
State Lottery that drew the capital prize
-Sl50,000. A reporter Of the News
visited MFR. Locke on Saturday last and
CLEANED the following facts: Mr.. Locke
has invested in this lottery for the last
four months, buying a one-tenth ticket
each time, spending in all four dollars.
On Tuesday, 18th ult, rumOr reached
him that ticket nc Mcmillan had drawn
$i5, 900, but Mr.. Locke would hardly
credit the news until a printed list con
tanning the number Of the prize winners
was put In his hands. He at once tele-
graphed the number of his ticket to the
New Orleans National bank, and re-
ceiyed in reply that il he held that num-
Der he WAS entitled TO the money. The
ticket was Immediately placed in the
First National bank of Marquette for
collection, and in less than a week
$500 in gold minus the exchange was
placed TO his credit. Mr.. Locke has
been in the employ of ID. l.. West, q
merchant of Mcmillan, for a number OF
years, attending to the railroad Office at
the same time. He says that he has never
sent money for tickets otherwise than in
plain envelope addressed TO Nj. A..
Dauphin, New Orleans, La, and has
always received his ticket promptly.
That the scheme is run on the square is
without doubt
The many friends of Mr.. Locke re-
ioice in his good fortune, and while the
News loosses a good correspondent il
glories alike with the rest.
